Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the roots of tension in the Kashmir Valley lay in cross-border terrorism sponsored by Pakistan.

"Terrorism is the basis of tension in Kashmir and it is being supported by a neighbour," Modi told an all-party meeting convened to find ways to defuse tension in the Kashmir Valley.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh told reporters that the Prime Minister urged the participants at the meeting to "expose Pakistan's atrocities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Balochistan".
